GRADES OF MUGwUmPERx

New that everybody Is in the
humor, it may be just as well to
clearly establish in the minds of all
good party men what constitutes
Mugwumpery, and how the test
may be applied.
They consist of open Mugwumps,
who buck every ticket they do not
help to make up.
Mugwumps who fight the party on
the sly.
Mugwumps who keep out of
active politics, refuse to do party
work, and demand gifts of place
from either party that wins.
This is the year to herd and
classify these men and place them
off by themselves on the political
reservation.
A man about whose Republican
ism there exists doubt may be put
down as Mugwump every time and
no mistake made.
An egg that you have any doubts
about is bad egg, and the quicker
you throw it out into the slop hop
per the better. You take chances
if you cook it for table use.
A man who needs affdavits to
establish his Republicanism is q
Mugwump, certain sure.
The straight up and down, old
line, three ply, all wool, yard wide
Republican never needs any help
to establish his Republicanism.
We have a solid Republican
party here new in Nevada, and
there will be a Presidential cam
paign two years from now. We
must close up the lines, establish
the principle that every traitor will
be showed under, that every Mug
wump will be sent to the block.
despite bis backing or affiliations
or friendships, and it will fill the
rank and file with an enthusiasm
never before experienced by party
workers in Nevada.
The drones, the non-competents,
the non-cembatants and the milk
and water lily -livered Republicans,
who sneak and snarl all through
the campaigns must all 20 to the
rear. and the smoke-bcgrimed !,
battle-scarred, hurricane fshters
must be in the positions of COM
mand.
No nonsense or foolishness from
this on.

SETTLE If POSSIBLE.

The impression prevailed during the
week that the decision of the Supreme
Court in favor of the State and the letter
Of the bondholders' attorney 10 Governor
Lee put The debt question in fair way OF
speedy settlement. it was supposed that
a suspension of hostiliiies would lead 10
calm and dispassioDate consideration Of
the difficulty, and that negotiations could
be opened between the State and her
creditors.
Tue report, however, which was cur
rent yesterday that the creditors would
stand firm unless there was some PROPOSE
ton from the State put the whole mat
ter back where it was before the recent
decision. There must be some firm
ground for the creditors 10 stand on
technically. or they would not now main
tain their position. We stated after the
decision that the plain course Of wisdom
was TO put the debt question on its really
proper footing Of the plea Of honesty,
without any fear Of law OF consequences,
courts, bubbles, or bondholders. What
the State needs is prompt settlement of
this horrible nuisance, even if she has 70
get il at a sacrifice.
OF course the patriotic people OF Vir-
GINA would prefer 10 see the State force
the settlement with the advantage on her
side and the credit of doing the right
thing without being forced TO it. But
whichever side has the advantage, the
objective point is settlement with the
consent of both parties.

We had occasion short time ago to

Arensdorf, accused of the murder of Rev
Mr.. Haddock, the Prohibitionisi. Some

WHAT OTHERS THINK OF Us.
Reputation in virginia.

By the opinion of the Supreme Court,
population is made legal method for
the discharge Of the honest obligation of
State. But no legal sOpbistry will ever
make such method honest. Virginia
will now be enabled 10 take a leading
position in the list Of States who have
dishOnOred their obligations, and will
serve as a shining example for Others
that have hitherto been deferred by fear
from embarking on such course. / be
decision OF the Supreme Court is entitled
10 respect as being the finding Of the
highest legal tribunal of the country
but il introduces q most anomalous con-
ditiOn when the law is constructed as
demanding of the citizen a greater degree
of honesty in the payment of his indiyi-
dual obligations than is required Of a
State. BY this decision the approval of
the United States of America is virtually
given TO the act Of State, that had il
been committed by any one Of her citi-
zens would have been branded as infa-
nous.
The pride Of our Government has been
its financial integrity. which must now
be dimmed and notice given 10 the world
that we are governed by laws that en-
force honesty Of the individual, but not
that Of the State that in so far as obi
cations are met it is because il is deemed
expedient-n0t because Il is required.
These dishonored bonds are held not on
" in our own country, but in foreign
lands. and there can be but single re-
sult-that of depressing all American
securities-for where Reputation Of the
greater obligations receives solemn sane
ton. il cannot be long before the same
spirit will pcrvade the individual, and
receive the designation of sharp business
methods. Individual respect for Obliga-
tions incurred cannot long be maintained
with approved disregard .of those OF a
State and thus is struck a blow 40 the
credit upon which the business Of the
country is soslargeiy conducted.
10 is in the injury ihus done to the
country that the decision becomes OF
such vast importance True, it viii re-
coil In heaviest measure upon Virginia
herself but rs effect will manifest itself
in every market of the world where our
securities are offered, and men will deal
not with the fine legal technicalities that
in points control the opinion of the Su-
preme Court and are disregarded in
others bat viii look solely at the broad
question Of honesty and It's treatment
at the hands OF our highest tribunal.
The attitude assumed by Governor Lee
in his message 10 the Legislature in no
way modifes the status He expresses a |
belief that the bondholders will accept !
whatever the State may offer. As mat !
ter of course, they will the choice 10 |
them is that or nothing, and the man
who refuses to accept q small part OF
what is Justly due him, when it is al that
he can hope for, is endUed with either
superhuman philosophy or he is a fool. |
The acceptance Of percentage by cTedi-
tors cannot be an honorable settlement
for the State, and the principle establish
ed Of making a debtor the judge Of what
he will pay, or whether he will pay any
thing cannot avoid being most pernici-

THE GREAT POLICY OF REFORM.

A special dispatch TO the Baltimore
Sun says that the Democrats feel quite
happy that their Republican brethren are
so much delighted with the Presidents
message. II has been long time since
the leaders Of both parties have either
really or apparently been so satisfied with
the situation. This is the greatest COM
pIiment paid for long time to the Re
publicans, that there should be numbers
of patriotic men In the party so sensible
as to understand that the great issue Of
reform forced by the President absolute
" lifts politics out of the grooves Of
party lines, and calls al men Of broad
American ideas to fair consideration Of
public affairs on just principles
The development of our great country
has been thus far without the aid Of COM
merce. II has been on the narrow prin-
chile of home manufactures for home
markets and the market forced TO take
only the home product. The people
must now decide intelligently whether or
not they will widen The scope Of the
American policy and sacrifice the bloated
mOnopolist on the altar of the peoples
rights.
We favor the immediate sacrifice Of the
monopolist 1t means the enfranchise-
ment of the American laborer by giving
him hundred manufacturers where there
is now only one.
1t means the opening Of the markets
of the world 10 our goods, and general
trade interchange with the whole world.
Can anybody doubt the logical results
of the policy? Not if they will intelli-
gently consider the foregoing statements
of the proposition.

THE POPULAR SUBJECT.

Tho salient point of the line that the
President has forced both parties to take
is that both parties are to some extent
pledged to tariff reform, while the Demo
cracy has no excuse Tor hesitating to
assume positive stand. Several Dino
cratic papers decline to accord the Presi'
pent's plan a cordial support, and there
remains large detection in the party on
the idea that q certain degree Of protec-
ton may be maintained by retaining the
revenue taxes on whisky and tobacco.
But the break in the Republican line
is much more obvious than any weaker
ing of the. Democrats.
II is thought by the most intelligent
critics Of the situation that the scheme Of
reduction likely to be presented by the
Democrats in the House Of Representa-
lives will be to put on the free list all
ores-iron, lead, zinc, coppeT-and also
salt, coal, lumber, wool, jute, hemp,
marble, stone, and other raw materials
used in manufactures in this country.
Then the sugar duties will be reduced
so as to cut of $20,OOO0O of the surplus
Tropical fruits will be put on the free
list.
The big fight will be upon the rduce-
ton Of protective duties on home man
ufactures," which, as We have stated,
amount now to about - per cent. more
than they did during the war.
The popular intelligence Of America
has showed itself on the side of justice
and common sense whenever any great
question has been tried by il, and we
believe that the people will see, after a
full discussion Of the question that 10
maintain war rates Of taxes and increase
them to protect monopoly, is wrong.
They will also see that il is time for
the people Of the United States 10 learn
better than TO believe that labor is bene-
flied by system that puts employment
into the hands of few big monopolists.
We believe that the proposition is
plain one to furnish the people with free
raw materials, so as to let their labor
on equal terms with that of
other countries.

This decision practically settles the
State debt The creditors, through their
agent, Mr.. W. l.. Royal have already
made propositions Of conference with
a view to compromise. We hope this will
be aCceded to, and that compromise
will be made just and equitable, based
upon the present rate Of taxation, which
will relieve the State from the stigma Of
reputation and yet prevent her from be
ing the prey of harrassing spectators
and greedy creditors. If wise and mod
